I just finished reading your first book, "Detecting the Fatal Connection," and wanted to let you know how much
I enjoyed it. I loved your character, Private Investigator Matt Malone, and his dog, Gracie. He sounds like a nice guy. I also loved the way he helped his elderly neighbor and allowed her to help in his investigation.

I just finished your latest book, "The Widower." What a wonderful read. I’ve read all of your books.
Can’t wait to see what your next book is about.

11/19/17 Mary Ann Grossman's words in Pioneer Press regarding Anthology Cooked to Death: Lying on a Plate Vol.ll
"The stories range from poignant to creepy, and some are funny. In Marlene Chabot's "Serving Up a Surprise," a police officer asks 200-pound Gertie whether she denies bringing the deadly baked pineapple dish.

"The Pickle King" is the best of all your books. I laughed all the way through it and got so engrossed in the story I I didn't want to put the book down. Sharon B. Chicago, IL

I recently came across North Dakota Neighbor and was immediately drawn in by the intriguing
dual storyline of a missing husband, a desperate wife, and the unsettling discovery of skeletal
remains on a donated property. The blend of personal drama and mystery investigation gives the story real depth. Matt Malone’s role as a steady, sharp private investigator adds such a compelling anchor.
